Item 2.01.    Completion of Acquisition or Disposition of Assets.

On April 1, 2015, Duke Realty Limited Partnership, an Indiana limited partnership (the “Operating Partnership”), of which Duke Realty Corporation, an Indiana corporation (the “Company”), is the sole general partner, and certain of the Operating Partnership’s subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, the “Seller”), completed the sale of all of Seller’s right, title and interest in a real estate portfolio, which constitutes all of the Company’s wholly-owned, in-service suburban office properties located in Nashville, Raleigh, South Florida and St. Louis and consists of 61 buildings that have an aggregate of 6.9 million square feet and 57 acres of undeveloped land (the “Portfolio”). The closing was pursuant to four agreements (the “Agreements”) by and among the Seller and SOF-X U.S. Acquisitions, L.L.C., a Delaware limited liability company (the “Buyer”), a joint venture between an affiliate of Starwood Capital Group and affiliates of Vanderbilt Partners and Trinity Capital Advisors. The Buyer assigned its rights under the Agreements to an affiliate, SVT Ventures, L.P., a Delaware limited partnership, which subsequently assigned its rights to a number of its subsidiaries. The purchase price, which was determined through arm’s length negotiations between the Seller and the Buyer, was approximately $1.09 billion which, was paid in a combination of approximately $831 million in cash, after considering the repayment of two mortgage loans that encumbered certain of the properties, closing costs and the settlement of certain working capital items, and approximately $200 million in seller financing. As previously disclosed, one property subject to the Agreements is still under construction and remains to be closed. The closing of that property is expected to occur later in 2015.
